Dr. Steven Wilson, a distinguished urologist and global leader in penile prosthesis implantation, has authored a biography highlighting the remarkable contributions of Dr. Paulo Egydio in the field of urology. In this work, he deeply explores Dr. Egydio’s advances in reconstructive surgeries for treating Peyronie’s Disease, emphasizing their transformative impact over the last 25 years.

In addition to discussing other surgical methods for penile curvature correction, Dr. Wilson emphasizes the Egydio TEP Strategy, an innovative method developed by Dr. Paulo Egydio that aims for a balance between the short and long sides of the penis during the correction of the deformity.

In his study, the physician outlines the evolution of penile enlargement surgeries in enhancing penile prosthesis, and considers the graft-free Egydio TEP Strategy for this purpose.

What is the Egydio TEP Strategy?

The Egydio TEP Strategy, one of the various approaches to penile curvature correction, stands out from conventional techniques by requiring an additional component for its effectiveness.

Unlike traditional methods that focus on lengthening only the shorter or longer side of the penis, the Egydio TEP Strategy aims to expand all sides equally. This technique requires the implantation of a penile prosthesis to ensure that healing occurs without reducing the size of the penis.

Therefore, for men facing conditions such as Peyronie’s Disease or Erectile Dysfunction, the surgical treatment addresses both the correction of penile curvature and the implantation of a penile prosthesis, all in a single procedure.

How Does the Egydio TEP Strategy Work?

This surgical technique for correcting penile curvature and implanting a prosthesis is based on the principle of tissue expansion.

To achieve the maximum dimensions of the penis, the surgeon will make precise incisions in the tunica albuginea in terms of location, direction, size, and number, forming a kind of network that promotes tissue expansion, without the need to use grafts.

Thanks to the formation of this network, the penis is reconstructed to the largest size and girth that the anatomy of the man being operated on can accommodate – besides being aligned and without thinning.

From the reconstruction, it is possible to insert a malleable or inflatable penile prosthesis. This implant will be sized to the new enlarged size of the penis after reconstruction, i.e., respecting the maximum size and girth achieved.

Advantages of the Technique for Curvature Correction

The advantages of the Egydio TEP Strategy are related not only to the treatment of penile curvature but also to the recovery of penis functionality.

Men who exhibit penile curvature may have erectile dysfunction, and with it, difficulty having or maintaining an erection for penetration at the crucial moment. The Egydio TEP Strategy will treat erectile dysfunction, providing firmness to the rigidity. This will allow penetration without difficulties.

Additionally, the placement of the prosthesis, by keeping the penis rigid during erection, prevents the formation of new fibroses characteristic of Peyronie’s Disease and, consequently, new curvatures.

By using the Egydio TEP Strategy for prosthesis placement, an advantage that often pleases patients is the possibility of inserting a larger penile prosthesis, compared to a penis that has not undergone the technique and, therefore, has not been reconstructed.

The placement of the prosthesis after the TEP is essential. Due to the new dimensions, the penis will need an adequate structure to not curve. For example, a longer penis will need a thicker caliber for more resistance.

International Recognition

The Egydio TEP Strategy is internationally recognized, and an example of this was the invitation Dr. Paulo Egydio received to participate in the American Urology Congress AUA in 2019.

On that occasion, the urologist was one of the debaters in the Survivor’s Debate. At this event, he advocated for the use of this surgical technique for correcting penile curvature and placing a penile prosthesis in a severe hypothetical case. His opponents suggested non-surgical treatments.

The audience, consisting of 5,000 medical professionals, voted for the treatment proposed by Dr. Paulo Egydio, considering it more effective for the scenario and satisfactory for the patient.

With the Egydio TEP Strategy, the treatment for the impacts of Peyronie’s Disease and associated erectile dysfunction has become safer and more efficient, in addition to providing a better quality sexual life for the man.
